A new location for the Southlake Library was part of the development until 2022. City o cials said there are no plans for moving the library, which has been in the basement of the city hall building since 2001. “Most of your successful mixed-use develop- ments have a public-private partnership in which there are also city facilities located there,” Terrell said. In 2021, the Southlake Library Task Force allowed public comment, and 57% of the 296 respondents wanted the library in Carillon Parc. Carillon Parc resident MaryLee Alford said she’s disappointed the library was pulled from the plan. “They did a lot of research and came back with the recommendation that the library should be built there and then for some reason changed their mind,” Alford said. Terrell said he would like for the city to recon- sider moving the library there.
Phase I of the development will include construction of two retail buildings, four restaurants, and a mixed-use structure with retail space and 50 condos above them, starting in late 2024, Terrell said. “I’m thrilled, just thrilled it is happening,” Alford said. “It’s about time, and it’s way overdue.” Terrell expects construction of the houses to start this summer and nish within 18 months. Later in 2024, retail construction will commence with a window to be done within two years. Phase II, which includes a hotel and a chapel, could start after that. “Having helped set a vision of what this site and the rest of the city would be like [and] having partners that can implement this vision that will last, it’s a generational-type legacy project,” Terrell said. “I think it will be a crown jewel of the city.”
